A Decision by tn. Attorney General

WAsHINGToE, April 6.-Section 5 of
the act passed at the last session of
Congress, authorizing an investigation
of the methods of accounts employed
by the bonded Pacific railroad com
panies, proposed that sinking funds
already invested in United States bonds
might be invested in the second mort
gage bonds of the companies. The
Union and Central Pacific Companies
recently applied to the Treasury Depart
ment for such investment. The ques-
ton was referred to Attorney General
Garland and it was given in opinion
that the Secretary of the Treasury is
not authorized to sell United States
bonds in which the funds are now in
vested, for the purpose OF reinvestment
in first mortgage bond of the companies,
but that he can invest any money paid
into the sinking fund in pursuance of
the Thurman act now in the Treasury
invested, or which may, in the future,
be paid in, in any United States or in
any first mortgage bonds, of the Union
or Central Pacific Companies.

tiled Up in Real Estate


PHILADELPHIA, April 6.-The failure
of Henry Bower Il Son, manufacturing
chemists. was made public to-day
through the entry in the Common
Pleas Court of judgment on notes
amounting to $57 ,794, all of which were
confessed. The heaviest one of these
was entered by VIM. n. Newbolds,
Son & Co., for $4,000. The
firm of Henry Bower 81 Son
is one of the oldest in
their line, having been founded in 1851,
and have always been considered one of
the most reliable and strongest houses
IN the city. Their liabilities will prob
ably amount to $500.o00, but no esti-
mate of their assets can be obtained.
The reason assigned for the failureis
that the senior member of the firm has
large amounts of money tied up in real
estate, and there was not enough cash
capital to carry on the business.

In conclusion, he said: SD loved him

all this, felt the loss to the Just cause
which was inflicted whenJ ohnston died.
Ny friends, have already said

Boyootting Raiiw.y Tickets

DENVER, April 6.-The war between
the eastern and western lines has
reached Denver. TIE Denver & Rio
Grande Company issned orders to-day
to their agents in Colorado, New Mex
leo, Utah and California to withdraw
from sale all tickets reading over any
portion of the Pennsylvania system
the New York Central and Hudson
River, the West shore and the New
York, Lake Erie and Western Rail-
roads. This is in retalistion for the
action of these lines for declining to
sell tickets over the D. & r. G. Railway
because the latter road refused 70 enter
tain an agreement not to pay commls =
sions.
CHICAGO, April 6. - Regarding the
by eastern roads Withdrawing through
tickets from sale, it is stated that tickets
of che Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy
have again been turned 70 the wall.
General Passenger Ford, OF the Penn
sylvania, yesterday issued supple
mentary circular to his agents, exempt
ing the Burlington, but the latter
claims that this was done u2der misap-
prehension, and that it is in hearty &C
cord and will sustain the position taken
by the majority OF the western lines
THE IbLINoIs CENTRAL.
On the other hand, to-day gave in its
adhesion to the terms OF the eastern
trunk lines and the boycott placed on
its tickets will be removed tomorrow.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
officials profess to be in the dark as to
the reason why an exemption was
made in their favor, as they do not
differ in their stand from that taken by
their competitors, and have madeno
compromises with the eastern com
panies. Notwithstanding the action, of
the trunk line, officials in New York,
Tuesday, in deciding to make boycott
on all of the eastern, lines and oonaec-
ton OF the fact to-day, and .up to to-
night had
ISSUED ORDERS To 40 ESFs
to that effect. 1t was asserted how
ever, that the general passenger agent
of the Lake Shore was preparing in
structions, and would send them out to-
morrow morning. The Grand Trunk
was threatened with a boycott of its
tickets over the New York Central,
West Shore and Erie unless it at once
complied with the terms OF the eastern
trunk lines. Assurances were imme-
diately wired, that it was in harmony
with its associates, and it is probable
that it will not be ostracized. Western
roads. with the exception Of the Illinois
Central, Chicago & Northwestern and
Milwaukee & st. Paul, are apparently
determined. to maintain their present
position. There seems 70 be no doubt
whatever that the national commission
will be asked to rule on the locality

The California wheat Crop.

San FRANCISCO, April 6.-The Bulletin
this evening, published reports from all
the wheat counties of California,
giving the present condition and pros
poets of the coming wheat crop. Fail
reports come from Sacramento, Santa
Clara, Salinas and Sonora Valleys, but
the great wheat region IN San joaquin
Valley is suffering badly from want
of rain. Taking the counties north of
San Francisco the outlook may be
stated as follows: Early Winter-Sown
grain still, requires from two to three
inches of rain to secure good average
crops in these counties. Indications on
the other hand from the southern
counties are that the crop.
s. EVEN WITH COOP RAINS
TO come, will be below the average.
The probabilities are, therefore, that
as the acreage this year is less than last
year, owing to the fact that this is
summer falloW year. and the absence of
rain during seeding time, the coming
crop will not be more than two-thirds
of last years yield. Should this prove
correct, the total crop will not exceed
700, 900 short tons. To this should be
added the earry-over on July 1st next,
which is estimated will be $1,000 tons
Deduct from these what viii be required
for home consumption, exports to
China, and carry-over, the quantity
left and available for export to Europe
will be 300, 500 TONS
Reports received this evening an
nounce lightrains in Oregon, Washing
ton Territory, and Northern California.
A dispatch from MERGED. San Joaquin
Valley, also announced a light rain
falling with a prospect of continuing.
The outlook may, therefore, be said to
have slightly improved. The Signal
Service tonight, predicts light rains IN
Northern California fair weather, with
northwesterly winds in the south part.
